Passover

My secretary asked me yesterday a perfectly reasonable question: How long is Passover?

Turns out there is not one answer but three. Its 7 days in Israel, eight days in the Diaspora, but 7 days in the reform movement.

So at the time she asked me, it was already over in Israel, ending Tuesday night at sundown for some in the US, but would be over Monday night for the rest of us.

Somehow I feel that Domino's Pizza missed a great marketing opportunity in all that.

  1. You've got to elaborate. How would Domino's capitalize?

  2. Carb hungry Passover observers eager to chow down on either thin crust or thick crust at the first available opportunity (although not necessary at exactly the same time). Kind of like celebrating the end of Lent with a return to whatever one gave up for that period.
